Bullshit. Utter, utter bullshit. That isn't remotely what Amy said, and frankly twisting her words to that extent is below you. People can choose not to press forward with court cases for all manner of reasons, particularly with those which are highly emotive issues, and a lot of them have nothing to do with the veracity of the claims. I would strongly urge you to do some more research in future before making such sweeping claims.

However bleak things seem, however insurmountable the darkness appears, remember that you have worth and nothing can take that away.
